Dedicated to my sister Nancy. Purple is good.

I now understand I am a "method photographer." Here is the secret of my method: I see something I like and I push the button. In this case, it was at Montréal's outstanding Botanical Garden in August 2011.

Reminder to me: stop more often to sniff the flowers. Oh, and don't worry about the skill level of my photos. Beauty speaks for itself and life is too short to worry.

Just sniff.

Manhattan Island sings her siren song across the water just like Bali Hai: "I am your special island; come to me..."

I don't care about all the new regulations or the cost of airline tickets. The only thing I think could possibly better than flying in an airplane would be doing it myself -- without the plane.

A stained glass window in Toronto's beautiful Church of the Redeemer.

This window illustrates a passage from the Bible's book of Matthew in which Jesus says: "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

Whether you care about the text or not, standing in front of something this beautiful can be a moving experience.

You might even be moved enough to believe that the story continues in us.
